Title: Method and installation for storing and delivering objects
Inventor: ROESCH ANDREAS
IPC: B65G1/137
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: The installation for temporary storage and ready for dispatch delivery of objects comprises a closed-in-itself rail system with holding elements (30) movable on it independently of one another, at least one packing and take-over station (10), at least one addressing and delivery station (11) and at least one computing unit (12). Between the packing and take-over station (10) and the addressing and delivery station (11), the rail system is designed as a storage area (2), for example, with controllable switch points or switch point systems (5) on the input and on the outlet side (5) and with functionally parallel storage tracks (2.1, 2.2, ...) between the switch points or switch point systems (5). Prior to being stored, the objects (32) supplied to the installation are individualized, individually packed and taken over by one holding element (30) each. Packed objects (33) and holding elements (30) are transported to the storage area (2) together, are stored along the storage tracks (2.1, 2.2, ...) and when required are retrieved from storage. Thereupon the packed objects (33) are marked according to their destination (e.g., addressed) and are released from the holding elements (30). In comparison with consignment systems in accordance with prior art, the packaging of individual objects prior to storage enables a more simple automation of the packaging step, and the advantageously suspended storage together with the holding elements (30) makes a more simple retrieval from storage possible.

Inventor: KRAUSE KARSTEN
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 2000-07-10
Abstract: The invention concerns ultrafine microparticles and nanoparticles, and a method for controlled production thereof in the absence of or with minimum water, in the absence of plasticizers or under reduced temperature constrain t. The method is characterised in that it consists in subjecting a matrix material to a high pressure homogenising process in an anhydrous or dry or l ow temperature medium, preferably at room temperature (20~C) and in particular below the freezing point of water. Said process brings about controlled fine  grinding and reduces to a minimum the damaging influence of the chemical stability of the homogenised material.

Filed: 2000-09-22
Abstract: A food processing method for a fresh edible plant wherein the cell death of the edible plant and the extermination of microorganisms are effected and, at the same time, the plant is digested with autolytic enzymes to thereby components undesirable as a food (i.e., those causing tang, bitterness, astringency, greenish smell, etc.) are converted into components giving body taste, sweetness and favorable smell. An aqueous solution having an osmotic pressure higher than the osmotic pressure of the fresh edible plant to be processed is prepared. This aqueous solution is heated to thereby induce the death of the cell tissues of the edible plant and almost completely exterminate microorganisms adhering thereto. On the other hand, the temperature of the aqueous solution is maintained within such a definite range wherein autolytic enzymes present inside and outside the edible plant cells are not substantially inactivated. This heated aqueous solution is brought into contact with the edible plant by immersing or spraying so as to induce the death of most of the cells of the edible plant and the digestion with the autolytic enzyme. At the same time, low temperature sterilization is also carried out. Subsequently, the edible plant is processed to give a food.  Alternatively, the edible plant is cooled by bringing into contact with a liquid coolant and then processed to give a food. Alternatively, the edible plant is stored in a frozen state and then processed to give a food.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes a technique based on a domain name system to provide additional information about a user to a service connected to a communication network. User information is stored and encoded into a domain name that is generated and interpreted dynamically. In an embodiment of the present invention, a specialized domain name server is placed at or near a point of presence and has access to private user information on the users who connect through the particular point of presence. Services can utilize a standard domain name query, requesting a domain name given a user's network address, to obtain a name constructed by the specialized server. The name can contain different pieces of information regarding the user encoded cryptographically by different keys to permit only selected disclosure of user information. The present invention provides a way of readily supplying selected user information to a service in a manner that can be authenticated and that is transparent to the user while, at the same time, protecting the privacy of the user.
